We have officially made our first goal as an organization. By the end of the first six months after the earthquake in Haiti, Organizing for Equality wants to have raised at least $10,000.00 for relief efforts.
As a result of the devastating 6.0 aftershock in Haiti and the 49 aftershocks before it, we are upping our fundraising goal to $38,000.00 in 4 months. That's the equivalent of one pound of food in honor and respect of every Haitian believed to be dead ($.14*200,000=$28,000.00) and a general $10,000.00 donation to help the efforts there already being undertaken.
With our new fundraising goal, we must raise approximately $9,500.00 a month for the next 4 months to accomplish our goal, a feat I know we can accomplish.
I need volunteers to help me raise this money. Send an email to organizing4equality@gmail.com and we can set you up with tools you'll need to start fundraising for us!
As time progresses and as we get more support, both volunteer and financial, we will find out how best to maximize our fundraising efforts and how best to donate our funds.
Thank you so much and I hope I can count on your support.
Joseph M. Soto,
President and Lead Organizer, Organizing for Equality
